Life without decent books...

I just finished reading 'One night at a call centre' by Chetan Bhagat. It is a decent book i guess. I mean, i really liked it, and it comes under my category of 'Decent Books'. I mean, i like these kind of books. Basically i read anything that is written in reasonably good english. My meaning of good english here is, no words that stretch across a whole line, and no language that makes your head spin,cursing who ever founded english. It is because i am reasonably good(read: very good, actually :P) in english, I can confidently say that it is not because i dont understand that kind of language. And even if i dont understand, there's always a dictionary :D
I mean,what the heck is an author going to achieve when he uses foot long words? Yes, he will definitely carry a superior air about himself for having managed to spell them right in the book :|
But we're not talking about ego and pride of those potty authors anyway.
The point here, is that shouldn't the authors keep in mind the interest and attention of the readers, rather than the name they will get for having used 'Very good english' in their books? Because good english according to me is not cramping in all the words in the Oxford Dictionary in one book. It is about being grammatically correct( i mean, duh,sorry i had to mention it :/), about using reasonably good vocabulary, and using new words that will come in handy in the everyday english we talk.
I mean, how many people would choose to say,'She is extremely loquacious'???
I would just prefer saying,'She is extremely talkative' :/ (yea loquacious means you talk a lot. But i dint know till i checked the dictionary anyway :D)
OR
I wouldn't accuse someone of being ' lackadaisical'. (<-- !!!!!!!!!!)
Id just call them unemotional :|

It is very wisely said that the secret to impressive writing is to use simple language. I have been a voracious reader right from when i was a kid. I have extended my vocabulary during these years by reading, referring to the dictionary or asking someone what a new word meant. Nobody is born knowing the Oxford Dictionary verbatim. You learn as the days go by even when you're 80 (man how lame is that? to learn even when you're 80 :/ ) I re-read every single book ive enjoyed reading. Many a times, i come across a new word in the same book when im reading it for the 3 rd or 4th time. (although that may just mean i was too careless to notice the first time :| )
This is basically something that just struck me when i was wondering which book i should read next :D
I assure you this post was not meant to bore you and if it did, then you're the blockhead not me :|
